Stigma continues to be a major barrier for people with experience of a mental illness – even from friends/family members. Our friends at See Me have useful tools & resources to help you improve your understanding of mental health & get tips on opening up. bit.ly/PublicStigma

Our paper led by Emily Doyle (@mcseto.bsky.social, Adelle Forth) published in the #InternationalJournalofForensicMentalHealth (@iafmhs.bsky.social) found that a brief educational intervention may positively impact #publicstigma towards #forensicpatients.

I was born in 1958. In my day, people were erratic, unpredictable, and most likely suffering mental illnesses that families kept hidden. I had a mental breakdown after a brutal rape. I wanted so much to just die. I was 17 years old. My family told everyone I had pneumonia. #PublicStigma

Stigmatising language around mental health is on the rise—and it’s harmful.

We stand with @SeeMeScotland in calling for greater understanding and an end to outdated, damaging narratives.

Let’s leave stigma in the past.
